You can't envision a scenario where a white supremacist party gets 5% of the popular vote?

Distasteful as I find white supremacy, I don't think we should be designing an electoral system with keeping views out of parliament in mind. If 5% of people vote for nazis, are nazis not entitled to represent them?

I'd recommend not taking an online class in first year - it's better to meet people in class than to not be able to have fun because you're in your res room watching lectures.

The residences aren't very far from academic buildings - the closest two (Prescott House and Mackenzie Building) are literally across the road from each other. 5 minutes is a good general estimate. All the residences have tunnel access and the tunnels are well-lit and well-traveled all the time.

If you're interested in specializing in International Studies or Development Studies, I'd recommend doing PSCI 2101 & 2102 instead of 2002 & 2003, as those are prereqs for a lot of electives you'll take later on.

If I were the Bloc I'd strongly support a proportional system. Nationalism in Québec as a whole is pretty stable ~ you've probably got a base of 20-30% throughout the province. That's the Bloc's core constituency, and any system that reduces the weight of individual ridings will help stop that group being slightly overshadowed by concentrations of Liberals or New Democrats in small areas.

In 2011, the Bloc won four seats - under PR, they'd have taken 18. In 2015, their 10 would have been 15. How exactly are they benefiting from FPTP?
